What's Holding Up the Stadium Project?

By Jason Riggs

The Chargers have spent nearly eight years and over $10M in an effort to get a new stadium built in San Diego County.  However, to this date progress is still moving painfully slowly and appears to be somewhat stagnant through the first quarter of 2009.

SDSU's Athletic Director On the Chargers Stadium Search 

By Veronica Pacheco

With the stadium issue looming over our heads like a dark bulbous cloud waiting to burst, many are wondering what role, if any, Aztec Football plays in the big picture. 

I had a chance to sit down with San Diego State's Athletic Director, Jeff Schemmel, earlier this week and walked away with a lot of information and insight as to where SDSU stands on the San Diego stadium issue.

What Do The Chargers, U2 and Billy Graham All Have in Common?

By Jason Riggs

As we continue examining the possibility of building a future stadium in San Diego, it's important that we take a minute to reflect on the past history of our current Stadium. This will help establish some context around what a stadium means to the San Diego County and why building a new one is so important to all of us for so many reasons.

Fact vs. Fiction in the Chargers Stadium Site Search

By Jason Riggs

You only need to visit an online forum where the Chargers stadium search is mentioned and you'll quickly see that there is a large anti-Spanos sentiment in play throughout all corners of San Diego County. But, spend a few minutes reading their comments and you'll also quickly learn that many of these people are misinformed.

Will Aztecs Football Die If The Chargers Leave?

Will Aztecs Football Die If The Chargers Leave?

By Jason Riggs

As an SDSU Alumni, I have continued to follow the Aztecs through every painful losing season. Nonetheless, I still enjoy the fact that we have Division I football in our fair City. And when I reflect on the salad days when Don Coryell was at the reigns and that team racked up 104 wins, 19 losses and 2 ties during his twelve years with the organization, I have hope again. Each season brings promise that the next Don Coryell (well, there never really will be another Coach Coreyll) will step onto the field at Qualcomm and restore the program's reputation. In the meantime though, I'm just glad Chuck Long finally got his walking papers after one of the most brutal seasons in Aztecs history.

However, worse than any losing season, is the very real specter that College Football and College Bowl games will soon be a thing of the past in San Diego.
